So what measurements are these people using to rate a Rockies asst scouting director #1 in any poll? I mean, look at the results of their past 10+ drafts, their failures in trades, even their bad internal scouting (Atkins, Hawpe, Cook, Francis, Morales, Rogers, Stewart, Chacin to name a handful of recent failures to move players).

Epstein won’t overlook taking a talented pitcher in rounds 1-2 can be pretty sure. Was looking over Sox prospects today and read something that made sense and confirmed a thought I also had.. With the new restrictive salary caps.. Many players who should be off of the boards up high are going to slide down a lot. I would/can see Epstein snapping up, probably a JC/HS talent pitcher at least in round 2 is a guess for the pitching starved Cubbies.

This might be one of the more interesting draft days in awhile. Day 2 is going to be fun to watch also for those who have the MLB package. They really should have day 2 for free as well. Seasons like this, when there has been so much change in the rules can expect to see players possibly not with a grip on reality of the non existent bonuses teams will be paying and those sliding way down.
